Prime Minister Questions - 26th March 2014

In Wednesday's Prime Minister Questions, Ed's questions to David Cameron was mainly on the energy and gas prices. This was because one of leading gas company's decided to freeze its gas prices. 

This was one subject that Ed Miliband has campaigned heavily on. So now that gas companies are listening, Ed can really push is message about pushing for gas companies to freeze their prices. 

Ed did well again I don't think David Cameron had really prepared himself to answer questions on the energy. 

David Cameron made  little attempt to answer the questions put to him. He just really focused on personally attacking Ed Milliband and he will probably hope that this looks good to the wider audience.

Ed did well and hopefully he will carry it to the General Election and beyond.

Preview of the autumn statement 2013

This week Chancellor George Osborne will be presenting his autumn statement to parliament.

 The most interesting topic at the George Osbourne's uturn on energy prices. 

Quite frankly it is bit of a shambles when the Labour leader,  Ed Miliband was calling for an energy price freeze. 

The Prime Minister David Cameron came out saying the government has no control over international energy prices. 

Now all of a sudden the green levy will be axed from our bills. Which means that household might get a reduction of £50 a month but only after it has gone up by £126 a month.

 

So it does sound like its a bit of a mess but hopefully it will become a bit more clearer once George Osbourne formally presents the budget to MP's. 

Hopefully budget will have a sizeable section on the cost of living crises, at the moment some middle class families are battling to keep afloat with the rising energy and childcare cost.

Prime Minister's Questions - 30/10/13

Today's PMQ's was again all about energy prices. Ed Miliband was demanding a price freeze. Whilst David Cameron was saying that Ed Miliband was conning the public.

It was the loudest PMQ's in a while and Ed Miliband was very commanding. However Ed now needs to move on to another topic as I don't think he can get much more out of this energy debate. 

David Cameron has a different problem he thinks that by saying that UK economy is bouncing back will help his poll numbers. 

All the Tory MP's that stood up in PMQ's spoke about how well the economy is doing in their area. 

Whilst this maybe true, sadly it does not feel like that for the rest of the UK. It really makes the Tories look like they are out of touch. 

David Cameron's job is to tell the UK public that the economy is on the mend. Whilst Ed Miliband has to point how people in the UK are actually feeling. 

I think Ed has a much easier job that is why he has been doing so well at PMQ's, but he needs to vary his PMQ topics little bit. This will help him to connect better with British people.
